JUSTCARS SPONSORED BY KEYPRINT LARGE, BRIGHT AND VERY WELCOMING! Samantha and Nicola Rutter from Bootle (Merseyside) based NW Keys attended the Just Car show 2014 in Orlando this year, after being invited by the host, Jim Hetchler. Here they give their impressions of the Show: “The venue itself was fantastic, large, bright and very welcoming, which more or less also describes the many attendees we met at the show! “The two day event was very well attended on both days and was a hive of activity from start to finish. The locksmiths share an absolute passion for their work and eagerly gathered to view and buy lots of new gadgets, machines etc that were being launched at this show as well as sharing plenty of banter with their suppliers. “It was a great show and a credit to Jim and all the organisers of this event. Also a BIG thank you from Nicola and myself to Kem Howden of Intelligent Key Solutions for allowing us to share their stand. We totally enjoyed the whole experience.” North West Key Services were established in 1980 by Jim Rutter. Initially based around Merseyside and North Wales, stock was held and supplied from the back of a small van. Samantha Rutter joined the company in 1984 when a shop was purchased in Stanley Rd, Liverpool to create both a retail key cutting centre and a stock warehouse. Continuing the family tradition, June Rutter joined the company in 1987, overseeing administration and accounts. With the acquisition of electronic key cutting machinery and the back up of high volume key blanks the firm’s reputation grew as a specialist key cutting centre. When Nicola Rutter joined in 1987, she introduced the auto locksmithing service to the company. 74 THE MAY/JUN 2014 ISSUE SPONSORED BY ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions Samantha and Nicola Rutter from North West Keys Peter Southern from Lockdecoders offering his expertise To read more, visit www.locksmithjournal.co.uk
